we know" But now hope is being
revived; the words of GOD
sse gone to the spirits in prison;
= VOW, am going to draw my remarks
10 a close by telling you the Manti
Iemple Is nearly completed nearly
ready for use, and thousands who have
contributed in aid of its erection are
onlv waiting until it is finished that
tney may enter and do the work they
SO much desire to perform for those
VINO nave gone before. The furniture
OF that temple is needed; the time has
come When IL Is wanted, or soon will
De; IL Is nnlshed In neat aud beauti-
Iul style. 1e Is In beautiful place
| and IN the midst OF a rich land The
Lstter-day Saints are now so much
better on in temporal things than thew
| have been in years past, and the Lord Is
multiplying blessings upon them In
their basket and in their store, and the
| committee of the temple in Sanpete.
| who were appointed at the commence
ment of the work to superintend this
| work and to render such aid as would be
| nece ssary, that committee of which
President W. Woodruff is chairman,
requested he To announce unto you
and through you to all the people of
Zion, who felt disposed to contribute of
| their means, to assist in furnishing the
temple with the necessary carpeting,
uphOlstering and furniture preparatory
to its dedication and the commencing
of work, that we are ready to receive
from those DESTROYS OF aiding, donations
OF from twenty-five cents up, and we
snail not object to the hundreds
from those who are able TO con-
tribute. Those who have had
experience in these matters, and in this
C ass of wors have taken measurements
and dimeE slOns, auu they say that
from IS GOO to $40 200 will be necessary
to complete every thing pertaining 10
this temple. And the extent of the
liberaiity of the Saints in contributions
to this work will determine, in some
measure, the style and richness
of the furniture; but 1t is desirable
80 make the furniture CORE
spond with The general interior
of the bu ldings that those who enter
| and la0Or therein, may be properly i'm
pressed with the sacredness of the
work in which they are to engage. And
as the superintendent has called upon
Us for all the available funds, as they
are now involved in debt, we should
try to give tie people proper under
standing of tue same by the presidents
of stakes and bishops of wards carrying
this home with them and setting it be-
fore the people, so that all who
desire to assist in this work
may have their names written on the
| temple record, and there they will re-
ceiVe credit for all they donate, and as
many Saints have contributed pieces of
WORK and means to other temples, we
| d. not desire TO have the manti an eX-
ception-we call upon the relief So
irtles. the wards, he stakes and fam
lilies uaOu all Saints to now contribute
what they feel Opposed to in
this matter, and bring it forward
to the Presiding Bishops office.
Or to Br,sle- James jack.
atthe President Office. to have it all
with the names of those who contrib
uyed.
W. beseech you to bear this in mind;
10 do what you can at once. Presi-
dents of stakes, post those in your
stakes, and leave everyone 10 act as they
feel the Lord ha eat them. And We will
ever pray to God, the Eternal Father,
for the riches OF His or zee to'sbound VITA
those who cUm4 10 administer for the
living aud the dead in the t"mTles OF
our God; which ma Co. ..Ta. o. Il, the
name of Jesus Chris: Amen.
